Nintendo knows it doesn't have to try very hard to make a console pokemon game cuz it will still sell like hotcakes.

Not nessisarily. Pokemon has better sales over other series on average, but it doesn't mean this is what Nintendo wants. Nintendo has been under pressure this year to increase Wii sales. They've even gone to cutting the price to try to increase hardware. A true Pokemon game will help rejuvinate the Wii. Main Pokemon titles are really good at pushing units. As long as it sticks to what Pokemon does well in the handheld games, then it can do well. Or, it's could be an MMO which, done properly, could over take WoW. Any other game will just make revenue; it would not be helpful to Nintendo's overall goal.

As this thread has shown, people will probably go out an buy a true RPG or MMP for Pokemon.

Console Pokemon has been decline in sales since the N64.  Look @ the difference between Pokemon Stadium and Pokemon Battle Revolution.  If anything, a new Pokemon would likely not have sales that of Battle Revolution that if memories serves has sold 1.39 million units.  My reasoning for this is that only those who already have a Wii and Battle Revolution will be the ones to buy this game.
